Land Rover Part Number: FRC2583 - Gear Lever Bias Spring Housing
FRC2583 is a Gear Lever Bias Spring Housing that fits the gear lever on V8 Defender models with the LT85 5-speed manual transmission. The housing locates and retains the bias springs within the gearchange assembly, ensuring the springs provide the centring and return forces needed for the lever to settle to neutral and to maintain correct LT85 gearchange geometry; replacement is required if the housing is cracked, damaged or worn so the springs cannot be held securely. Installation should be carried out as part of gearchange assembly work to preserve correct lever movement and alignment on LT85-equipped V8 Defender vehicles.
